Computer security outlook: Online identity theft and juxtaposed security initiatives

Keywords: online identity theft, what is identity theft, best identity theft protection, ways to prevent identity theft

Description

E-commerce, gaming, and social networking sites are grabbing the maximum attention, where you knowingly, or sometimes even unknowingly submit your personal information. And, Internet perpetrators are taking advantage of the pervasive Internet, people’s growing dependencies on the Web, and addiction thereof. Thus, what you share on the Web, and with whom you share is an area of concern.

Present Scenario

National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), a government body of the United States concerned with monitoring crimes, admitted an increase in approximately 25 percent in terms of victimization linked with identity theft from 2005 to 2010. The report were tracked in the categories: unauthorized use or attempted use of existing credit cards, unauthorized use or attempted use of other existing accounts, such as checking accounts and misuse of personal information to obtain new accounts or loans, or to commit other crimes.


















                 Online privacy threat



Forces standing by you:

· Judiciary system: Most of the countries have implemented rules and regulation pertaining to the collection and usage of the personal information on the Internet. And hence, your consent is essential, if any website owner is interested in collecting any kind of personal information from you.

· Organizations and large business houses: Consumer-friendly software developers are trying to furnish more features in their products – productivity, designing, accounting, communication and other apps – in order to get better hold of your personal information. You can customize the apps, to make sure who can access your information and from where.

Outlook
Introduction of concepts like OpenID, iCards (Information Cards), Oauth and SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) blending legal and technical aspects enhances the Internet safety by allowing you to have more control on personal information. Joint efforts of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) have also played crucial role in ascertaining the safety of your data.
